I like the game ! Very simple but relaxing. I would love to see more :D

Nice little game, liked the 'game over' screens, haha

puzmak 2020-04-21 09:02

@rodi thank you very much!

puzmak 2020-04-21 09:03

@the-martijn heheh.. glad you liked them!

savvu 2020-04-21 09:04

The design and graphics are really something else! Had a grate time playing and kept the fish alive. I would add a short and simple tutorial in the beginning showing the player that he actually has to drag the items above the aquarium! Good Luck!

Nice Graphics. Trying to "Keep it alive" was stressful haha. Thanks for the game.

The names for the fish in this game are amazing. The next fish I buy are going to be named Finn and Heinz cus of this game. Kudos on a relaxing little game. Fish are such good boys!

puzmak 2020-04-21 09:23

@sarrixx woah! We are honored! Thank you very much for playing, and yes! Nothing beats a silent conversation with a fish friend.

Nice game, I had a good time playing it! Heinz the fish had a good life before he got eaten :D I also love the art style! The music is also very relaxing.

I really liked the graphics! The Sounds on the other hand were a little annoying. I would like to see more Gameplay. Keep up the good work!

The artwork really did stand out on this one. Very well done! Nicely animated. The soundtrack was very soothing as well, good choice!

The gameplay was simple, but kept me entertained long enough. I'm almost surprised that this was the first tamagotchi-esque game i played so far. I expected a lot more to be honest. It's good that you twisted the mechanics a little. Good job!

Love the artstyle!

max-louis 2020-04-22 16:19

This art is amazing! Really nice job. I also love the humour in the dialogue a lot. It was quite stressful in a good way - I would loved to have had more time to know when the fish needs feeding, it took a little while to pick up and drop the food the water before it could be fed. This game has great potential, really great work, enjoyed a lot!

I really loved the artwork on this game and hector is fricking cute! It wasn't easy to keep him alive but it was fun to play and the music and scene got me really relaxing. Wouldn't be a game that i would play to long mostly because of the stress :-) but overall truly a great game!!

A very pretty looking fish tank. Getting baited by the other fish that eats your fish made me laugh. I liked how you had to actually shake the food above the tank like you would in the real world. Well done.

I loved this game. It was fun and relaxing, not to mention funny. I had a lot of fun playing this and the art is great too. Great job,

Nice artsyle, cool music (although quickly repetitive), and fun "trap" ;) Congrats, hope you can make longer games sometimes!

amerigo-gazaway 2020-04-24 05:44

Wow this looks nice, I wanna play but I'm on mac. It's cool that you used Procreate, just downloaded and curious to use it for game dev assets. Cheers!

mobiledev 2020-04-24 07:35

A very cute game. Loved the art and music. Good job!

mehrdadsh 2020-04-25 15:30

cute little game, nice

yorsh 2020-04-25 15:32

It's simple but relaxing, I like it. The sound effects however don't really match the mood and are way too loud. In my experience (as someone who doesn't know anything about sound) when going for relaxing stuff, just record youself doing pretty much anything that makes sound and you get much more natural and organic sounds.

zachary-rodrigue 2020-04-25 15:43

you have been fooled, hahaha, this fish will eat your fish. this really surprised me and I loved it

eckkert 2020-04-25 16:56

Very nice drawings, it is a pretty game.

abdurrahman-khallouf 2020-04-25 17:50

nice drawings man. I think needs more to feel like a game. I just kept pouring stuff and everything was ok..

I think it would be better for example if you need to make them grow together so no one will eat the other

Hi, lovely cartoonish art-book style but I did not get the idea of how can I control the game? My fish dies eact time right after I click on food, in 5-10 seconds. :smile:

codyhansen 2020-04-26 01:04

I love the way this game looks! Has a very "picture book" style that I enjoy. The game is simple, but keeps you on your toes between the two objectives.

There isn't too much to do however. It comes down to clicking on which of the two needs attention first and praying they don't need it at the same time. The sound that the fish deterrent and food sometimes piles on top of each other and creates a lingering buzzing.

The game looks fantastic though. And the writing got a chuckle out of me!

puzmak 2020-04-26 14:58

@room606 thanks! And try dragging the fish food above the aquarium! :)

thecritterscove 2020-04-28 20:42

The graphics are beautiful! The music is also nice and sets a casual mood to the game. Sound effects are okay, but the eating one is oddly electronic?

The gameplay is a bit on the simple side. While the fish does chase after the food reasonably well, I did end up with a bunch of food on the bottom by the end. Any fish keeper knows that's bad news lol. I didn't realize at first that the bad fish needs to "rage" before it eats the goldfish, so I kept spamming the deterrent for the first minute.

Overall it's a cute little polished game.
